Heading-Differentiate the Styles...

Being granted this "Holy Gift" from GOD, I would never
turn-off my brain to any avenue of creativity. However, I do find it
MORE laboring to do a complete rendering with various depths of shading,
MORE concentration is needed and in the parallel universe...

It feels as if I'm giving MORE of my inner soul to the audience.

Meanwhile, When I'm creating my version of doodles my mind and creativity blend much more smoother in a whimsical way.

The ease to flow with no restrictions or guidelines is quit exhilarating.

HONORED & Privileged to be able to finally expose it to an audience so deserving of something NEW & Original.

Contain your JUDGEMENT, It won't STOP the march of progress.

Heading-Graphic Narrative article (online)

Doing some research online and came across this intriguing article about "Graphic Narratives/Graphic Novels".

Here are a few interesting highlights:

1.-Graphic novel is a book-length story (tale) told in a medium of comics.

2.-If
we define imagination narrowly as visualization then perhaps we need to
RETHINK!. However, imagination is not merely visualization. Webster’s
definition suggests that it is the “act or power of forming a mental
image of something not present to the senses or never before wholly
perceived in reality” (online).

3.-The more we can actively and
interestedly perceive, you see, the wider becomes the field on which our
imaginations can work. It is imagination that enables us to reach
beyond, to open up those possibilities. Imagination invents, you
realize; it discloses alternative realities. . . . If it were not for
imagination, we could not form . . . . mental images of what-is-not
where actual existence is concerned. Graphic narratives require our full
engagement—perceiving, imagining, interpreting—to make sense of the
experience of the text and to move into the world the author creates.

4.-In
graphic narratives, the images do not merely signify, they also
suggest, and those suggestions are at the heart of our reading.

5.-one
can never completely ‘escape’ into a comic book because its
form—impressionistic illustrations of people, places, and things—reminds
us at every turn (or panel) that what we are experiencing is a
representation”.The tension between imagination and representation,
which readers may experience only subconsciously, is one of the features
of visual thinking.

6.-Furthermore, literacy requires not only
the ability to make meaning of a text but also the abilities to create
and communicate meanings in whatever form is necessary for an audience.
When we consider our need to read images and multimodal texts and the
multiple forms for communicating meaning such as tweets, blogs, and
podcasts, as well as print and visual texts, we can see the complexity
of the concept of literacy.

Thank You!!!

Beyond the countless illustrations displayed on this blog and on the "official" website-"CLICK HERE"

There exist about 5-10 illustrations (more) for each drawing (you see here) not showcased. The blog is to promote interest in the over-all concept of this graphic novel.

Each illustration is merely a SAMPLE
for current patrons and future patrons, Allowing access into the
artwork and the various themes associated with some renderings.

NOTE:At any point when you are
viewing any of the illustrations from The DARK WORLD Chronicles if and
when there are misspelled or used in-correct grammatical errors, This is
not indicative of the entire text of the graphic novel.

The main character (Thackery Warner) early on in his mentally
capacity suffered a mild case of dyslexia, For this reason when he is
trying to communicate with his alter-ego the artist, the collaboration
is not always cohesive in transaction.

The manuscript for the graphic novel was proofread and edited
by-ASSTR Proofreaders and Editors Center using the agent (Stacey
Donovan). Her resume is quit impressive.

Posting this to insure current & future readers of The DARK
WORLD Chronicles about the substance of the work and it's evocative
mission...
